Hi again,

Thank you cor-el but I did not have to try your suggestion.

Suggestion (1) by jscher2000 solved the problem completely - I think. I located the file mms.cfg in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and copied it to the desktop. Open it with WordPad, added the line ProtectedMode=0 and saved it. Renamed the original file mms.cfgBAK (just in case I would need it later) and moved the new file to the same folder. Restarted Firefox and tested it several times - 7Mbit/s! Yezzzzzz!!!

Thank you!

Lars

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.

Thanks for the reply!

I tried (2) and unchecked the box but it did not help much, at times the reciving speed increased to about 1.2Mbit/s. BTW Netscape 9 is working perfectly with the same Flash version. Should not any problems with Flash also affect Netscape?

As for (1), I did find the file mms.cfg but please pardon my ignorance: How do I add the line "ProtectedMode=0" to it?

I also used diaxdiag to check the drivers but no troubles were detected.
